The G.O.A.T. Puncher Deontay Wilder 31-0-0-0 (KO 31) Next opponent :think Charr beat Kevin Johnson but failed to stop him, should Deontay Wilder use him as a showcase of his firepower :think Deontay Wilder will be the first to stop Kevin Johnson :smoke
Would love that fight. TBF, Johnson called him out before and Wilder wouldn't do it. Stylistically, I think the fight would answer questions about Wilder. Can Wilder cope with a iron chinned, skilled boxer with great defense (even though Johnson's workrate is too low and heart is questionable). That's the type of fight Wilder hasn't faced to this point. To me, the toughest contender Wilder could face, stylistically, is Arreola or Stiverne, one of whom he will be the mandatory challenger of. Johnson would be great prep for that (even though its mostly different style challenges, it would still teach and test Wilder). Obviously, it would only make sense if his team was very confident he would win, though.
Its a great fight, but the fans & Kevin Johnson must have interest in it Kingpin changed his tune lately & no proud man wants to get his chin shattered...so confirm that Kevin Johnson still wants to get to KTFO I acknowledge Kevin ATG chin status and would love to have Wilder make history, by being the first to stop him :think
If this happens, only one outcome is possible 32-0-0-0 (KO 32) the question is how long Kevin lasts :think
Took you a while? YDKSAB and 31-0 (31KO) deal with it :smoke There. I posted exactly what are going to post to every reply. Now please, **** off back in your hole you cum guzzling wanker. :hi:
So who was fighting in Jack Johnson era :yep what about Dempsey, Louis, Patterson, Holmes, Tyson :dead Don't be a hater :nono
I'm still waiting for more before I make a judgement on Wilder. Certainly is a physical specimen, but that doesn't always translate into success in boxing. Still waiting for those legs to be tested with a solid punch. That being said, I think he's ready to start stepping up the competition. Wilder should take on a few of the top contenders before going after one of the brothers. Just IMO. Arreola is a good test if he fights him. I'm not big on Arreola, so if Wilder is the 'real deal' he should dispatch him without too much trouble. Again, Just IMO. Arreola is a good heavyweight, not going to diss him and call him a bum, but if a guy wants to claim to be 'world class' and the next big thing in the heavyweight division, he should be able to handle him.
Eltirado, what do you make of Wilder's low weight for his size? I'm open to him being great, would like to see it, but I'm wary. His opposition is better than some make it out to be, although it hasn't been great. But I'm more concerned about only 225 lbs on a 6'7 frame. That's a bit of a red flag for me.
Wilder's hype level has gone into overdrive. In a couple of years there will be a thread like this one "Was Calzaghe's dispatching of Jeffrey Lacy one of the greatest/best wins of this" about Wilder being beaten by some average boxer. When he does get beat everyone will think the guy that beat him is great until they realise Wilder was just so poor.
I don't know if he's "poor." That's a bit extreme. But I agree that I'm hesitant to place the "next coming" title on him. I'm still waiting to see more against stiffer opposition. I wouldn't mind seeing him fight Arreola as I said above. If he's the 'real deal' he should be able to handle Chris.
Wilder v.s Johnson is an accident waiting to happen, Wilder can't box at all.... Just looks for the early knockout, my prediction would be Johnson by hilarious accidental knockout. Either that or Wilder gasses horribly after flailing his arms around and failing to hit KJ with anything of note, and gets knocked out sometime between rounds 4-7. His management would never let this fight happen, as Johnson can actually box and take a punch.
